I’m in an art show opening next Friday where I’ll be showing a bunch of 9 in. by 12 in. graphite drawings of boys in the moment. I like a lot of the artists I’m exhibiting with and it’s up for a while; see it if you can.
Ten Futures finds its theme perched between the science fiction genre and the futures unfolding around us in real time. Through drawings, photographs, video, sculptures, garments, short stories, and a video game, the artists in the exhibition daydream, fear for, and build their own imagined worlds.
Artists: Elaine Healy, Shohei Katayama, Summer Jade Leavitt, Adam Milner, Celeste Neuhaus, Paul Peng, Everest Pipkin & Loren Schmidt, Maybe Jairan Sadeghi, Centa Schumacher and Bradley Weyandt
Co-curated by Fred Blauth and Dave Zak
Opening Reception: Friday, December 21st 6-9pm

Show runs: December 21st – February 24th

Interviewed by Zhiwan Cheung for his POC-artist-focused podcast Seeing Color! I talk a bit about the role of cartooning in my work and how I view it, how I relate back to mid-2000s DeviantArt culture and what those roots do for me, amongst other stuff that y’all might be into. Some of it’s a bit clumsy but a lot of it I still strive towards and stand by! Give it a listen when you can.
